I use appulous to find new software, but I'm one of the rare few who buy the ones I like. This has put me in the position of also using appulous as notification of when my purchased apps are updated, so I can install them from the app store.
I did see "Tap Fu" when it hit appulous, and decided it wasn't even worth pirating to try out. YMMV. It just looked incredibly asinine to me. Although to be fair, at least it wasn't another tower defense clone or iphone fart app.
Actually I think the real question is "why do Slashdot posters continue to write down their interpretation of articles without reading the motherfucking articles first?"
This requires deep study. Unlike the article, which a quick skim-through would show addressed your goddamn question.
The loan in the linked article is an FFEL loan, also known as a "guaranteed student loan." So if the bank doesn't trust the treasury to make good on defaulted loans, it wouldn't make the loans in the first place. It's not "secured" in the sense that the bank can take your house and sell it to someone else, but it's still secured.
This is the most thoroughly stupid article I've ever seen. Is the ESRB supposed to consult its crystal ball to determine whether or not someone will spam a link to lemonparty in an otherwise "E"-rated game?
The Lotus Notes experience is somewhat like delivering your email via shouting out the window, while a midget punches you repeatedly in the balls. And that's BEFORE the Domino admin decides to move your profile to another server and fuck everything up even more.
I'm not sure, but I know it's good because the ones bashing it are Symantec. Meggers, put that energy you've directed toward badmouthing MS (soft target though they may be) into making sure your own products aren't entirely worthless pieces of fucking shit and see how you fare. You might even surprise yourself.
Then again, you might not. The only way to improve Symantec is to burn the existing IP to ashes and piss on it, then sell the company to people who know what they're doing.
"Taking their case to Congress Apparently, the music industry can't obtain the fees through negotiations. They have begun lobbying Congress to pass legislation that would require anyone who sells a download to pay a performance fee, according to David Israelite, president and CEO of the National Music Publishers Association."
Lobbying = bribing, so these guys will probably get their moneys' worth from the whores they pay for.
Since never (yes, I realize it was rhetorical). It's a phrase designed to give politicians a warm, fuzzy feeling, like "for the children." When they feel warm and fuzzy they have fewer qualms about ass-raping consumers without lube, or even the courtesy of a reacharound.
I don't see why you're concerned with cultural differences. If a candidate says he can do something but can't show you that he can actually do it, why would you consider hiring him?
Is it just me, or are most "Ask Slashdot" questions artificially overcomplicated?
For fuck's sake, I don't get a front page story every time I run over a whore in GTA (headline: "Funeral Today for Victim of Brutal Virtual Hit and Run"), so why do Second Life and Eve get stories every time something virtual happens?
On his own time and under his own investigation while trying to make the code work, he discovered the original source corruption problem. He earned the goddamned grade regardless of whether he crammed himself into the higher education mold and came out with a deeper understanding of the problem than he would have if he had robotically coded something with clean input.
Slashdot Mirror
So to make your job easier, you want people to pirate Windows 7 just for the IE8 support? Really?
Wouldn't it be easier for them to just, I don't know, install IE8 instead of a whole new OS?
My pleasure.

The game is called "Read the Fucking Article, You Moron." It's more fun than it sounds, actually.

"And how was such a conjecture published without data or peer review?"
It wasn't. Read the article. bugmenot.com has valid logins, so that's no excuse either.
How the hell do they expect me to jerk off to this? They should have held out for Lois Griffin.
More like 95%, at least on mine. HIGHFIVE!
"It runs XP."
No it doesn't. Perhaps submitters should start looking at what they're submitting. I know it's a lot to ask.

I bet iNotes will be just as good. No, seriously.

Watch the teeth, senator.
"Since when is any money going to the artists?"
Since never (yes, I realize it was rhetorical). It's a phrase designed to give politicians a warm, fuzzy feeling, like "for the children." When they feel warm and fuzzy they have fewer qualms about ass-raping consumers without lube, or even the courtesy of a reacharound.
If Symantec products were worth a shit, this might be a decent idea. But Symantec products don't work.

"Google the title. I agree that any company that gets a union deserves one."
I'll agree with you there. Fuck the CWA.
That's a fine straw man you've constructed there.
I think the real question is why you're asking Slashdot instead of sitting down with your boss and hashing these issues out directly.

"Temperatures have been cooling since 1998/99."
This is the point at which I just shook my head and stopped reading. Thought you might like to know.
